Aching tightness, head-splitting migraines, breathing issues, and poor sleep quality — these are all signs of trapped tension in your body.

The good news is that exercising one specific (and often forgotten) body part can help restore your well-being… I'm talking about your tongue…

I first discovered how to unlock the power of whole-body tension relief when Dr. Neel Bulchandani visited my house and did some very unique body therapy on me (including putting his fingers into my mouth and my nasal cavity to 'adjust' those sections)! I later released an Instagram post about his groundbreaking Tongue Press program — a video series and guide designed to optimize tongue mobility.

Dr. Bulchandani is a holistic chiropractor and bodywork educator who has poured over 15 years of chiropractic expertise and five years of training fellow bodyworkers into creating not just Tongue Press, but his other unique methods as well.

*If you want to try his Tongue Press program, you'll receive a masterclass packed with videos, audio, and a detailed PDF guide. Plus, you get months of Dr. Bulchandani ‘s exclusive newsletter, all with a special 30% discount, by using code BenAirway here.

Mindsip insights from this episode:

Understand diaphragm's journey from throat to core

In the womb, the diaphragm forms in the throat and descends to the belly, which explains the deep fascial connection between the mouth and the core of the body.

Identify 70 tension points linked to womb restrictions

A chiropractor has mapped over 70 specific points on the body that predictably tighten due to restrictions, like tongue ties, that are formed in the womb.

#muscle

Manually adjust nose for improved airflow

A trained practitioner can use their pinky finger to manually adjust the bones inside the nose, which can dramatically improve airflow, especially when combined with releasing the soft palate.

#breathing

Perform tongue suction exercise for improved oral posture

A key exercise for oral posture is to suction the back of your tongue to the roof of your mouth and then open your jaw, holding the stretch for up to three minutes.

#tongue

Address chronic issues linked to childhood tongue tie

Chronic issues in adults like tight hamstrings, TMJ, or digestive problems can stem from an unresolved and often undiagnosed posterior tongue tie from birth.

Release tension around right kidney to enhance cold exposure response

Releasing tension around your right kidney by pinching your side and rotating your torso can help your nervous system better handle the shock of cold exposure.

#kidney

Align kidney health to alleviate adrenal fatigue

In Eastern medicine, the adrenal and renal (kidney) glands are viewed as one synergistic system, and releasing a misaligned kidney can help resolve adrenal fatigue.

#cortisol

#kidney

Release tension in palate to improve nasal breathing

The roof of the mouth is anatomically the floor of the nose, meaning tension in your palate can directly restrict your ability to breathe nasally.
